Kiss Me Kate 3D
Synopsis: At his New York apartment, actor Fred Graham and composer Cole Porter discuss plans to recruit Fred's ex-wife, actress Lili Vanessi, to star in their new show, Kiss Me Kate , a musical version of William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew." Lili arrives, and after singing the love duet with Fred, agrees to consider taking the role of Katherine. They are interrupted by the arrival of flashy dancer Lois Lane, who has used her wiles on Fred to secure the role of Bianca. Jealous words fly between the two women, and Lili prepares to leave, after informing Fred that she is going to be married soon. The film stars Ann Miller, Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel, Tommy Rall, Keenan Wynn and James Whitmore.
The Band Wagon
Synopsis: Tony Hunter, a fading film star decides to return to his former glory, the Broadway stage. His playwright-songwriter friends hook him up with Broadway's hottest director, Jeffrey Cordova, who proves that the "new" theater traditions can be an awkward fit with the old. The film stars Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Oscar Levant, Nanette Fabray, James Mitchell and Robert Gist.
Calamity Jane
Synopsis: When she isn't tearing up the town, Jane spends her time cussing out Wild Bill Hickok. The plot gets under way when Jane promises the citizens of Deadwood that she can persuade classy Chicago stage star Adelaide Adams to perform at the local opry house. Through a case of mistaken identity, Jane brings Adelaide's maid Katie back to town. Katie proves to be a success all the same, and out of gratitude promises to make a lady out of Jane, who is sweet on handsome Lt. Gilmartin. The film stars Doris Day, Howard Keel, Allyn Ann McLerie, Philip Carey, Dick Wesson and Paul Harvey.
Warner has yet to reveal tech specs or special features for the films' Blu-ray debuts.
